WS Australia & New Zealand

POSITION:

Managing Director

LOCATION:

Sydney, Australia

When it comes to blockchain, New York City leads. The San Francisco Bay Area boasts a high-growth startup ecosystem. London is the fintech capital of the world. Tel Aviv is an expert in cybersecurity. And Stockholm is second only to Silicon Valley in terms of producing the most unicorns – companies valued at more than US$1 billion.

While Melbourne is considered a leading tech hub in Australia, lovingly referred to as the country'sinnovation darling’, for Amazon Web Services (AWS) Australia and New Zealand Managing Director Adam Beavis, that’s still not enough. He and his team have one main objective and that’s to put the two nations in their entirety on the map as world-leading innovation hubs.

“We are so passionate about seeing Australia and New Zealand on the world stage for innovation,” he shares. “It’s what gets us out of bed every day. We make a huge impact on organizations as they move forward and go global, helping to really drive the digital transformation for the Australian economy.”
